The battle in Kyoto is still ongoing, although the two ninjas of Belly and Iga are dispatched to completely suppress the group of ninjas who invaded the city, but after all, it is impossible to clean up all the ninjas in the city in a short period of time, but the situation in the entire city has been temporarily stabilized, and the ninjas who attacked cannot take any advantage.

It's just that Tokugawa Iehiko, Taiyuan Yukisai and others arrived to their annoyance, but they have not seen the attackers show up so far, and it is almost impossible to determine who came to attack.

In this case, Tokugawa Iehiko and Taiyuan Yukisai wanted to fight back, but some of them could not find the direction to fight back, and they did not know who to turn to retaliate for the losses suffered in this attack.

Lucius was still standing on the castle tower, quietly watching the battle of the ninjas below, and whispered to the third and fourth beside him: "It seems that Oda Nobumitsu and Bai Meng have not made a move yet, and now this group of guys should be sent by ambitious daimyo from all over the world, and Fuso's faith has indeed collapsed." ”

Now even if the emperor declares that he will return to imperial power, the shackles of desire have been opened, and it is indeed not easy to put the shackles back on.

From this attack, it can be seen that the daimyo who have a large army in those places no longer want to continue to recognize the emperor's rule, and they want to gain more power.

And once the Tokugawa family really cooperates with the emperor, and the emperor succeeds in Kyoto, I am afraid that those daimyo will encounter many obstacles if they want to take advantage of the chaos to strengthen themselves, first of all, the people of Fuso may have resistance, after all, the emperor's position in Fuso is very high, and he is a descendant of the gods and is regarded as a ruler appointed by the gods.

This kind of deep-rooted thinking, no matter who is in power, I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely change, and the only way to do this is to introduce new civilized sects and gradually replace the Fusang civilization with the ideological trends of other civilizations.

The Tokugawa family had already tried to do so, but they had not been able to implement it nationwide. The Tokugawa family began to decline, and the entire family's power became very low, and its influence was much less than before, and in the end, the Tokugawa family did not succeed, and now they can only return to the emperor.

At this time, the daimyo from all over Fuso sent troops to attack Kyoto, with the aim of destroying the Tokugawa family and returning to the emperor and preventing the emperor from regaining power in Fuso.

But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the wishful thinking of those daimyo is difficult to realize, and the forces that Tokugawa Iehiko and Taiyuan Yukisai have in their hands. It's not something they can challenge lightly.

As the sky darkened, the attack lasted for nearly a day, and if the darkness had gradually darkened today, and the ninjas who attacked the castle had been gradually cleaned up, it seemed that the emperor was about to survive this catastrophe, and the Tokugawa family would return to the emperor, and the emperor would regain control of the imperial power.

Tokugawa Iehiko, who was exhausted, couldn't help but whisper to Taiyuan Xuezhai beside him: "Taiyuan-kun, do you say that we have survived this catastrophe?"

Taiyuan Xuezhai was stunned at first when he heard this. But then he shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, those ambitious guys will inevitably have the last hole cards that have not been played." ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa Isahiko suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe." Are you so sure? Those guys will do something? You must know that the majesty of my Tokugawa family may not be what they dare to challenge directly. ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai sighed and said disdainfully: "At this time, you are still so naïve. Do you think those guys are still afraid of you? If they were really afraid, I'm afraid the previous attack wouldn't have happened, in their eyes. The emperor can already be killed, let alone you, a general?"

Tokugawa Ihiko had a bitter face when he heard this, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, I didn't expect that the ancestor of my Tokugawa family could be regarded as dominating the entire Fuso, but I didn't expect that I would fail so much in the end." ”

Taiyuan Xuezhai sneered and said: "Hehe, you are not a failure, at least you have had the time when you were in power, but some things are inevitable of historical development, and we can't go against the wheel of history." ”

"What do you mean by the inevitable development of history? Taiyuan-kun, what do you mean by this? Could it be that history wants to destroy my Tokugawa family? But how is that possible? My Tokugawa family is also conscientious in its rule, but I have not done anything to disturb the people, and besides, I am not now the emperor?"

Taiyuan Xuezhai continued: "There is a saying in Middle Earth, history is 'a long time must be divided, a long time must be together', and you, at the critical moment of a long time must be together, you make a return to the emperor, is to conform to history." ”

Tokugawa Isahiko smiled bitterly and said, "Well, since it is now a long time to be divided, then why are we still facing such a tragic attack now?"

Taiyuan Xuezhai suddenly waved the gilded stick in his hand and ran towards the gate of Kyoto City, while shouting loudly: "Close the city gate, everyone immediately ascends the castle tower and prepares to meet the enemy army." ”

Tokugawa Ihiko was still a little stunned, but soon heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city, and immediately understood why Taiyuan Xuezhai would make such a response.

No. 4 rushed to the castle tower on the other side, and saw that in the wilderness outside Kyoto below, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance and rushing towards Kyoto, obviously a large army was attacking Kyoto.

Quickly turned around and reported to Lucius, who had already slowly walked to the other side at this moment, watching the smoke and dust billowing and overwhelmingly rushing over, his face actually showed a hint of joy: "Those attacking guys finally can't bear it anymore, and plan to use the army to attack, No. 3, go and tell Sù Tokugawa Ihiko to prepare to dispatch his soldiers and horses." ”

When Tokugawa Iehiko and Taiyuan Yukisai rushed up to the castle tower, they instantly saw the smoke and dust billowing below, and Tokugawa Iehiko's expression suddenly became solemn: "Damn, are these guys planning to tear their faces and storm Kyoto?"

Taiyuan Xuezhai was also full of heaviness, obviously for the scene of the army outside, Taiyuan Xuezhai also felt a little bottomless at this time.

Originally, Taiyuan Yukisai thought that those ambitious local daimyo would at most send some samurai and ninjas to carry out a sneak attack, but he never thought that the other party would launch a direct attack on Kyoto like this, knowing that this would be tantamount to a complete indication that they were going to rebel against the emperor.

Rebelling against the emperor is tantamount to treason, and it is a betrayal of Fuso's faith, which is simply a heinous crime, and even after death, the soul will be punished by Amaterasu.

This is the doctrine of Shintoism, and it is something that almost everyone in Fuso understands in their hearts, but the other side is still under the pressure of a large army, and to attack Kyoto is tantamount to completely abandoning the faith.

When the army gradually approached, and finally the soldiers approached the castle, suddenly a voice sounded: "Kill, kill Tokugawa Iehiko, overthrow the shogunate, rescue the emperor who was coerced by them, we must fight for the emperor, fight for Amaterasu, and kill that disloyal and unrighteous fellow of Tokugawa Iehiko." ”

Tokugawa Iehiko, who was standing at the head of the city, heard the roar of the army outside the city, and almost fell off the city with a stumble, he almost never thought that the slogan of the other party's attack on Kyoto was actually aimed at himself.

Obviously, Tokugawa Iehiko and others took advantage of it, but now after the interpretation of those voices outside the city, it is Tokugawa Iehiko and others who protect the emperor in the city who have become the culprits who coerce the emperor.

"Damn bastards, these guys, are you crazy? It's blatant nonsense to give me such a name, and it's blatant to blame me for all the crimes. ”

Tokugawa Isahiko felt annoyed, and Taiyuan Yukisai next to him was also a little helpless, because there were soldiers under the command of samurai daimyo from all over the city gathered outside the city, obviously facing so many tongues, even if Tokugawa Isahiko and him Taiyuan Yuizai were all mouths, there was no way to say that they could win each other.

Even in this case, even if the emperor comes forward to clarify, there is no way to completely solve the trouble, because the other party has already put a huge hat on himself, and the emperor may be coerced to come forward to clarify.

Standing on the city tower, Lucius was also slightly stunned when he heard the roar of the soldiers under the city, and then shook his head and sighed: "The descendants of the Red Heart Royal Clan are really good at calculating. ”

No. 3 and No. 4 were still a little ignorant, so Lucius explained with a wry smile: "Now, he first took my army, buttoned it off with a huge hat, and directly reversed black and white, saying that the white was black and the black was white, but I ignored public opinion and did not let Tokugawa Iehiko pacify the surrounding forces in advance." ”

The current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Kyoto side, because the other side occupies public opinion, and it is obvious that those samurai have already unified their voices and used a huge hat to buckle Tokugawa Iehiko's head, and at the same time blocked the emperor's explanation of this road, completely using a public opinion advantage, in turn to suppress the Kyoto side.

In fact, the root of this problem lies in the Tokugawa family, because almost the entire people of Fuso know that the Tokugawa family once forced the emperor to throw himself into the sea, which invisibly made Tokugawa Isahiko a traitor.

In the hearts of the people of Fuso, it was almost decided that Tokugawa Iehiko would not return power to the emperor, and that he wanted to usurp the emperor's power himself.

But now, Tokugawa Iehiko suddenly announced to the world that he was going to submit to the emperor and welcome the emperor back to Kyoto, if this matter is said from another angle, it will become the version of the current army outside the city, and Tokugawa Isahiko will re-control and coerce the emperor.

Hakumon's strategy was very successful, taking advantage of the stain on the Tokugawa family, and at once pushed everyone in Kyoto Castle to the black side, while the ambitious samurai and daimyo from all over the country became the loyal side and waved troops to rescue the emperor from Tokugawa Iehiko.

The army was already under the city, and in the face of the closed city gate, the army outside the city did not rush to attack, but waved its flag outside and shouted: "Tokugawa Iehiko, you traitor, quickly release His Majesty the Emperor, and then you had better be captured, otherwise you will be the enemy of the world, and you will betray the god Amaterasu." ”

Hearing the shouts outside the city and looking at the scene of the flags outside the city, Tokugawa Iehiko almost felt as if he had been pushed into the abyss in an instant, completely losing the advantage he should have. (To be continued......)
